All specifies on just NVIDIA fix Voltage Issue for OCP (load line)!!!!!!!
I searching where are R522, C519, R527 (pcb layout) ?????????
If anybody can make hires photos of area near adp3208 or have service manual of 9600GT board (P545 PCB) ?
PS. sorry for mi russian english

without i do anithing with load-line corcuit was 1.157V on easy-load games
now in easy-load games 1.147V
in hard games like Crysis some down to 1.135V
and no ups biger then 1.15V
OC to 750Mhz core - stable. but i no oc and for me stable videocard without BLACK SCREEN in prioritet!!!

I have a Inno3D 9600GT that does the blackscreen and I need a real solution to this problem the only way I can play games that do blackscreen is to downclock my card but I wanted to overclocked not to downclock on certain games so if any1 has a real solution pls do share it to us! I have done the 1.15V also tried 1.20 and 1.25 but blackscreen on testing with 3dmark06 so for now only 1.15V which lead me to 725mhz OC on core

I have a PNY 9600 Gt with this problem .and i have to downclock the core to 610 from 650 and memory to 850 from 900.and what do u think about getting RMA .will they give warrenty ?

if it still on warranty then send it back to the store you bought in replace it with a 2nd Gen 9600GT. downclocking is not right for a videocard just to get it stable specially if you pay for an factory OC version.

so i need to request a 2nd gen 9600 GT ?so there are chances to get another blackscreen one

yeah u should consider returning the card have you read all the forums about 9600GT's problem about blackscreen? wayback since its first release people who bought this card are experiencing this blackscreen problem and the only way to fix it is either downclocking or replacing it with another good working card

well I have full control of my blackscreen problem it still exist but I know how to counter it if your blackscreen is frequent and even downclocking doesn't help then RMA is the only way for your prob.

The blackscreen is almost certainly the Over Current Protection circuit kicking in. If you want to confirm you need to use a voltmeter to measure the GPU core voltage. When it black screens you will notice it suddely drops to 1.00V which indicates OCP has kicked in. Usually a power down is required to reset it.

Overvolting the card just makes it worse so you are better off sticking with stock voltage on the core.

If you want a quick test to cause it to blackscreen you can use the firefly forest test in 3DMark06. It is very shader intensive and will push itover the edge if it is close to OCP.

i downclocked my core clock also to 625 from 650 and the mem clock to 850 from 900 :S

yes but at 1.2v my card starts to blackscreen 1.15v it can finish 3dmark06 but not on atitool as it immediately blackscreen as soon as I open 3dview. now I put it to default voltage 1.15v gives only 25mhz increase on core and 100mhz on shader so its not a big deal.

I hope someone will figure this blackscreen out before I change my card.

12 days all good. no BS
ocp (lline) working !!!
SOLUTION IS:
1)vmod to 1.15V
2)if u look to your card, u see -
in RED box no resistor (edited)
in GREEN box resistor (edited)
i find revision 2 board photo -
ptoto very bad? but in negative i see
in RED box resistor (edited)
in GREEN box no resistor (edited)

now i find ADP3208 datasheet

16 LLINE Load Line Programming Input. The center point of a resistor divider connected between CSREF and
CSCOMP can be tied to this pin to set the load line slope.
17 CSCOMP Current Sense Amplifier Output and Frequency Compensation Point.
18 CSREF Current Sense Reference Input. This pin must be connected to the common point of the output
inductors. The node is shorted to GND through an internal switch when the chip is disabled to provide soft stop transient control of the converter output voltage.

I take smal iron and unsolder 0 Ohm resistor (GREEN pads) and resolder it to RED pads
